Canada visa is not always about money. Do you have a decent profile? Good job, good pay, properties? Any travel history? Good job, good pay, yet it is not always about money? 😁 Well, the travel history part caught my attention . Travel history doesn’t really matter. Canada is my first trip. I’ve never traveled outside Nigeria before. Not even to Cotonou. 3 Likes |

The fact is that Canada is in Visa bonanza which may close anytime soon when they meet the target , reason being some white highly skilled migrant are leaving back to their countries and they need cheap replacement . So just pray for your luck at this time while it's last . 6 Likes |

You can't have billions in your account and except a visa from Canadian embassy easily expecially if you cannot prove the source. You are just lucky to get that visa without any tangible travel history. Canada visa application used to be the hardest over the years ago, seems the Canadian government are trying to achieve something. Just be happy that you are lucky and applied at the right time. 1 Like |

Ok ChiKen2027:
Hello,
Follow the process as highlighted on the IRCC portal. I will assume they are coming purposely to visit you, so their visa application will be under the category of a family visit. And as you are a temporary resident in Canada, you will need to present the following documents:
Letter of invitation - A letter written by you to your parents. Details of expected info are below: Travel History - A clear copy of 1 or more of the following: Your parent's previous passports and/or visas (used within the last 10 years to travel outside Nigeria), Entry and exit stamps, Study and/or work permits that indicate their duration outside Nigeria, Expired or Valid visas. Itinerary - Copies of any of the following: flight details and hotel reservations - Very Important. Account statement of your parents - I want to believe that your dad will be the main applicant and mum will be his spouse, Bank name and contact of his account (Just give MBS for this), Proof it is their account - Their name and address on the statement show that the account is theirs, Account details - At least 6 months of account details, including balances, helps IRCC understand their financial situation. Employer information - If dad and/or mum still working, A letter from his/her employer can confirm that they have a stable job and will return to it. It can also show that his/her employer supports his/her visit to Canada. The letter should be printed on his/her employer’s official letterhead. A clear color copy of his & her valid passport or travel document that he/she'll use to travel to Canada. A completed IMM 5476- Use of a representative (IMM 5476)form - I believe you will be the one that will apply on behalf of the applicant. You need to complete this form. A completed IMM 5645 form - This is where you will specify that his spouse, your mum will be accompanying him.
You need to scan all the pages of the passports both current and expired and join them together to attach them to the section. Also, please, let them show the financial capacity to take care of their trip themselves even if you are the one planning to house them. Tie to the home country is key, show more interest on the letter for them to come back home to. There is a section for additional document, this is where the letter of explanation will come in and if there are property documents/ business occupying their attention back home, you want to put them there together. Make sure the main applicant is any one of them that has a higher range in terms of finance/travel experience. Then your mum will be his accompanying spouse. Your letter of explanation should also be detailed and clear with purpose of visit detailed.
Alternatively is for them to visit as a tourist, on this, you do not need to issue any letter of invitation. Here, travel history, itinerary, account statement, passport, Filled use of a representative (IMM 5476) form, Authority to release personal information to a designated individual (IMM 5475) form and completed Family information (IMM 5645) will suffice.
The guru's in the house can add what I might've missed.
Good luck!

Great detailed response. Please I have follow up questions. First what are the chances for me that don't have any travel experience? Also, I want to apply for visit visa and my fiancé a PR over there would be writing a letter of invitation. However I want to know if it makes any difference in application processing times when she does the application for me and fills the representative form vs when I get all the docs and submit the application here in Nigeria myself. Thanks ChiKen2027:

Canada is whatever you want it to be. It can be very frustrating if you choose to dwell on the negativity, it can also be very rewarding if you choose to plan and know what you want.
